Kelp Greenling
If you're targeting Kelp Greenling around Westport, Washington, you're in for a treat! This area boasts a diverse coastline, from rocky jetties and kelp forests near the Westport Marina to the calmer waters inside Grays Harbor. The greenling here thrive in these varied habitats, offering opportunities for both boat and shore anglers. The best time to target them is generally from late spring through early fall, when the water temperatures are a bit warmer and the fish are more active. Look for them around structure – jetties, docks, and especially kelp beds. A local tip: try fishing the incoming tide near the Westport jetties; the current often brings in baitfish, attracting the greenling. Another tip: many anglers have success drifting small jigs or using cut bait like squid or herring near the bottom around submerged rocks. Be aware of the strong currents and potential for rough seas, especially outside the harbor. The Kelp Greenling here are known for their vibrant colors and feisty fight, making them a fun target for anglers of all skill levels.
